    I may change it to 125 after maintaining for awhile. I wouldn't mind a little insurance.

    Hi Ladies,
    I'm in a similar boat as you but just starting today. Somehow this weight has crept up on me and I'm ready to take it off! Feel free to friend me, I could use the help. For now, walking/hiking will be my main exercise as I have an injured/frozen shoulder.

    SW - 189 (this morning)
    GW - 160 (probably will reassess when I get there)
    Height - 5'6"
    Age - 52

    Thanks for your responses!
    I swear---recording everything I eat on MFP is fun...and it WORKS! I am so psyched. I have only lost 3 lbs, but it has only been 1 week : )

    I'm not really sure how this works. Now that we've introduced ourselves, does someone start a group or do we just keep posting on a message board? I've had a great couple of days sticking to my plan and exercising after work. I hope I can keep up the motivation.

    I'm 52 and I've dropped 50 pounds, (45 since joining MFP). You can do it too! I'm sending you a friend request.

    Hello. I am new to this site, and yet again trying to lose. I had no idea that reaching 50, and peri-menopause would make losing weight so difficult. I lost 60 pounds just back in 08, but hard to maintain when I relocate.
